Configure External Control
If there are external devices connected to the control pins, you need to configure the device to
recognize the external controllers. This configuration is stored at the device level and should be
established before you create any presets. If you are not connected to the device, you can create a
configuration and save it on the computer to be later transferred to the P4800 through the RS-232
connection. Refer to the Control Pins section on page 76 for complete instructions.
1. Enter Design Mode
You must be in Design Mode to configure external control. If you are in Live Mode, click the [Design
Mode] button on the control bar of the main window.
2. Configure Control Pins
Select [Devices>Control Pin Configuration] from the main menu, which opens the Control Pins window.
Start by selecting how many presets you will be switching between, and the type of encoding the device
will use for the preset numbers, then specify the other control connections.
3. Save the Configuration to the Device or to PC
Select the [Configuration>Store to Device] or [Configuration>Save to PC] menu option.
Note: If you need to switch presets from the computer after you have configured the
control input connections, you must disable the connections in the Control Pins
window before proceeding further.
